Ahhh, Unwind was a great book. 5 stars!! (I was actually at the bookstore yesterday, and I saw the sequel Unwholly on the shelf. I was drooling, I wanted it so bad:P)


Unwind does look interesting too.


Neal Shusterman"
I SECOND THIS! (third...whatever...)"
Fourth. :D
The second book is out

It should definitely be on the list.


バッカーノ!The Rolling Bootlegs
Here's the thing, the book has never been licensed in the US, meaning only fan translations have been made. Here is the link to access the translations.

Ahhh, a unique suggestion!! Thanks, Eric. It is good to deviate your reading materials from time to time.

The book is called Baccano: The Rolling Bootlegs. Here is a wiki description:
Baccano! (バッカーノ! Bakkāno!?, Italian for "racket" or "ruckus", Italian pronunciation: [bakˈkaːno]) is a Japanese light novel series written by Ryohgo Narita and illustrated by Katsumi Enami. The series, often told from multiple points of view, is mostly set within a fictional United States during various time periods, most notably the Prohibition era. It focuses on various people, including alchemists, thieves, thugs, Mafiosi and Camorristi, who are unconnected to one another. After an immortality elixir is recreated in 1930 Manhattan, the characters begin to cross paths, setting off events that spiral further and further out of control.
The particular book I recommended is the first in the series. Sorry if the description on the Goodreads page is a little... Japanese. Hopefully this gives others an idea of what the book is about. Again the fan translations for the series are located here: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/ind...
